New project - The Association of Fashion and Textile Courses Award
I’ve chosen another
live project from the list on Moodle, it’s part of the Bradford Textile Prize. For this I must produce a “textile or
material sample which focuses on responsible design through either recycling,
sustainable fibres, reconstruction, zero-waste techniques or design for the
circular economy. Potential use for Fashion, Interiors, Accessories or Product
should be communicated through illustration/visualisation.”
I have chosen
this project because I’m enthusiastic about recycling materials and sustainability.
So far, I have been to charity shop to choose materials for my sampling as well
as going to the Creative Recycling Gallery in Chorlton for more inspiration.
Manchester Museum
This week I
have been to the Manchester Museum and have collected inspiration through the
fossils and drawn them as research for my further sampling. I’ve decided to use pictures I’ve taken from
the museum as my colour choice, not just from one picture but from several. I have
also played around with cement because I thought I could create some fossil
like textures and I also like the natural lines it’s made because of cling film
at the back.
